NCLD’s new report finds that students with learning disabilities make up 31% of Pre-ETS participants, yet only 4.4% of eligible students are taking part. The gap is clear. Expanding awareness and access can help more students prepare for employment: https://t.co/UR0IJblcqi

Students with learning disabilities have big goals for the future, and Pre-ETS and Vocational Rehabilitation can help. NCLD’s new report looks at how these services support college and career pathways, and why awareness and access still matter. https://t.co/LLbKKO5cns

As a coalition co-convener, NCLD and CEO @RodriguezJax were glad to be part of the Higher Education Accessibility in Action event.👏🏽

Students with disabilities may be eligible for Pre-ETS or Vocational Rehabilitation, yet too few are accessing these supports. NCLD’s new report looks at what’s standing in the way and how we can help more students prepare for life after high school. https://t.co/eBVvyhGxAl

This Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re recognizing the educators who show up every day for students with learning disabilities. Thank you for your patience, creativity, persistence, and care.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from all of us at NCLD!

Time is a major barrier for teachers supporting students with LD. NCLD’s report finds many have resources & support, but without enough time, those efforts can't fully reach students.

Let’s ensure teachers have time to help every student succeed: https://t.co/MDMmOlPJdk

[NCLD @ncldorg]

Only 17% of novice general educators feel completely confident adapting instruction for students with LD, compared with 60% of novice special educators. Inclusive classrooms need better support for the teachers leading them. Read NCLD’s report: https://t.co/4jNptapBr9

What happens to civil rights protections when public dollars move into private school voucher programs?
Co-authors from NCLD, @WeAreUnidosUS, the @NAACP_LDF, and the @NatUrbanLeague explore that question in a new piece in The 74.

[NCLD @ncldorg]

Most students with LD spend much of the day in general education settings, yet many educators still feel underprepared to support them. NCLD’s findings point to a need for stronger training, collaboration, and support across schools. Full report:https://t.co/DcJqIH7wWw

We appreciate Chairman Cassidy convening this discussion, but we remain concerned this bill is not the right solution and could lead to unintended consequences.
